I tried and experiment with this last harvest. I water cured a nice top bud in the fridge, so it was really cold water. I let it sit for three days.
then hung it in the convection oven on the lowest setting (170 F) with the door ajar. I used a spoon to keep the button for the fan depressed.
I kept checking on it every 10 min for an hour till it was crispy. Then I put it in a mason jar over night. It was a little moist, so I gave it another day in the jar with the lid off. The next day it was smooth and just as tasty as the stuff I let hang for 2 weeks. I have also done this right off the plant to the bowl in less than 30 min if you don't soak them.

Yeah I like water curing. I use a food dehydrator for drying.

Don't know how you can water cure under 7 day and not change the water everyday?? A little hard to believe! Many experiments have been done on curing and the formula has been found don't know how you got away from that and made it work? DEHYDRATOR is the only way to dry water cure with any success. Bet if you did it the right way it would have been kill'r.
